According to the FAO, Conservation Agriculture (CA) is defined as a farming system or production strategy which implements three principles simultaneously and permanently over time (FAO, 2021): (i) absence of soil disturbance (exception made of the disturbance generated by the seeder); (ii) crop diversity in time (crop sequence, rotation) and space (intercropping, companion plants, cover crops); and (iii) maximum soil coverage by crop residues or sown cover crops (annual or permanent cover). This definition highlights that CA is currently characterized based on the technical means implemented, which have been described in greater depth and geographically contextualized in numerous studies (Kassam et al., 2009; Kassam and Friedrich, 2011; Friedrich et al., 2012; Kassam et al., 2019). More specifically, CA systems are defined as those in which no mechanical disturbance of the soil is carried out except by the seed drill (less than 15 cm wide or 25% of the cultivated area), a practice known as no-till, no-tillage, or zero-tillage, which grow more than three different crop species in pure stands or mixtures (of varieties or species), and which cover at least 70% of the soil surface with stubble, crop residues or dead or living cover crops at the time of sowing (Kassam et al., 2019). CA systems combine a diverse set of agricultural management practices (rotation, cover, sowing, fertilization, weeding, etc.) which may change as the system evolves (Knowler and Bradshaw, 2007; Vankeerberghen and Stassart, 2016; Derrouch et al., 2020).
